If a patient wants to raise their nasal tip in revision rhinoplasty, can a columnella strut be sufficient?

If a tip is droopy, can a tip be raised with rotation techniques and a columella strut alone (instead of adding lots of bulk & changing the shape of the tip w/tip grafts, shield grafts, ear cartilage, and so on)? Or is more grafting required to preserve breathing once a tip is rotated? #droopy tip #columnella strut #grafts #bulk
